These little seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. I usually throw them in overnight oatmeal but once in awhile like to make pudding with them for a super good for you dessert. If you’ve never used chia seeds before, they absorb 10 times their weight in water, making a tapioca-like gel that can thicken sauces or jams, and even help you feel full longer. If you really need an excuse to eat dessert, check out how good these are for you:

1 1/2 tbs Chia seeds

1 tbs Unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tbs sweetener (I used stevia, but you can sub maple syrup)

2/3 cup Milk of choice (I used almond)

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients together and leave in the refrigerator 30 minutes or overnight. Leave as is or top with berries, coconut, or chopped dark chocolate. Serves 1. Enjoy!
